A Palmar Lipoma with Median and Ulnar Nerve Compressive Symptoms

Abstract

Although lipoma is common in the upper limbs, it rarely occurs in the palm, and usually does not compress the surrounding structures. Here, we report a patient presenting with compressive neuropathy of the ulna and median nerves secondary to a palmar lipoma. Surgical excision led to full neurological recovery.
